It is understood Old Trafford chiefs are scrambling together cash to pay them off in a bid to force them out the club.
Unwanted Argentine defender Rojo, 29, has played just 192 minutes of Premier League football this season.
The defender still has two years left on his deal, and is demanding a £6million severance fee to leave in the next transfer window.
He earns a staggering £150,000-a-week and is owed £11.5m on the contract that he has left remaining.
ALEXIS OUT
It is understood a number of clubs in Europe including Italy have shown interest in the £15m-rated defender.
Meanwhile, Sanchez is on a record £505,000-a-week and United are desperate to get him out as soon as possible.
An Old Trafford source said: “There’s a few players that want to go but they will need paying off to get them out.
“It won’t come cheap and it will affect certain things in the transfer market. There are plans already been put in place.
